Forogh Hashabeiky serves as Senior Lecturer/Associate Professor in Iranian Languages at Uppsala University's Department of Linguistics and Philology, where she maintains an active research profile in Persian linguistics and literature. Her academic work bridges historical and contemporary perspectives on Iranian languages. Her research focuses on historical linguistics , Persian orthography evolution , and post-revolutionary Persian literature , particularly examining grammatical structures in classical texts and narrative patterns in women's writing. Recent publications demonstrate sustained investigation into New Persian development (16th-18th centuries), sociopolitical influences on language change, and textual analysis of literary anthologies. Publications reveal consistent specialization across three interconnected domains: (1) grammatical analysis of historical Persian texts including Tārikh-e Beyhaqi and post-classical literature, (2) orthographic reforms between 1850-2000, and (3) typological studies of post-1979 Iranian women's fiction. Her editorial work on Arash journal stories and Shāhnāme conference proceedings highlights commitment to preserving literary heritage. Professional activities include significant contributions to Encyclopaedia Iranica and development of Swedish-Persian lexicographical resources through LEXIN. While no formal advising roles or research grants are documented in available materials, her extensive publication record demonstrates ongoing scholarly engagement with Persian language evolution across sociohistorical contexts.

Professor Pavel Kosek serves as Head of the Department of Czech Language at Masaryk University's Faculty of Arts in Brno, Czech Republic. He completed his habilitation procedure in 2014, resulting in his appointment as associate professor, and subsequently earned full professorship in 2021 following a formal appointment process that concluded on May 8, 2021. His academic career demonstrates a clear trajectory of advancement within the Czech linguistic scholarly community. Professor Kosek's research focuses on historical Czech linguistics, with particular expertise in enclitic behavior during the Baroque period (1620-1775). His habilitation thesis, Enclitics in Czech of the Baroque Period , represents a comprehensive analysis of word order patterns across various syntactic elements that function as enclitics in modern Czech. His work challenges previous assumptions about Baroque Czech as a period of linguistic decline, demonstrating sophisticated linguistic structures worthy of scholarly attention. His research methodology involves analyzing diverse Baroque-era texts including religious instructional prose, professional texts, Bible translations, entertainment prose, historiography, instructional literature, homiletics, journalism, and administrative documents. This broad textual coverage allows for comprehensive analysis of enclitic behavior across different genres and communicative contexts. His work examines both the position of enclitics within clauses and their relationship to syntactically superordinate words. Professor Kosek actively contributes to academic governance as a member of the Industry Council for Czech language and Linguistics, the Program Board for multiple degree programs (including Czech Language and Literature at both Bachelor's and Master's levels, Computational Linguistics, and Teaching Czech Language and Literature for Secondary Schools), and the Scientific Council of the Faculty of Arts.
